For the answer to the question above,

Q = amount of heat (kJ)

cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg. K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK

m = mass (kg)

dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin

Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K

Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal
